If you set the `:dependent` option to `:delete`, then deleting this object will delete the associated object _without_ calling its `destroy` method. If you set the `:dependent` option to `:restrict`, then attempting to delete this object will result in a `ActiveRecord::DeleteRestrictionError` if there are any associated objects. WARNING: You should not specify this option on a `belongs_to` association that is connected with a `has_many` association on the other class. Doing so can lead to orphaned records in your database. |
